Global Cache iTach probs

Just got a ip2cc and setup the plugin. The relays appear to work (lights come on) but the status in Device list doesn't change the the event log is full of errors like below. Any ideas?

Thanks

You found a typo in an error handler. Download version 1.6.1 and try again. This won't fix your problem, but it should produce a more "interesting" error message that should tell us what's going wrong for you. Let me know what it says. (If you haven't yet, check the debug checkbox in the plugin configuration dialog.)

Thanks Perry, I deleted and added the device again. I just get this error in the log now - although the relay does operate fine as before...

Code: Select all

  Cynical Caché Error             iTachA-Relay1 unavailable: ('unexpected event', 'RELAY', 'setstate', '1:1', '1')
  Cynical Caché Error             iTachA-Relay1 unavailable: ('unexpected event', 'RELAY', 'setstate', '1:1', '0')

Oh, look: another unexpected iTach message.

Okay, try 1.6.2 and see if that squashes it. (I don't have an xx2cc, and GC-100 relays don't do that.)

Thanks Perry - no errors now

It looks like you need a script for a trigger / action to fire the relay? Is there a sample script somewhere, or is it possible to add a drop down to select on / off etc?

Also should there be an entry created in the log when I operate the relay using the devices screen - currently nothing appears in log.

Thanks

Can you not just turn the device on/off from the devices list like you'd do with a lightswitch? That's how the relays work on my old GC-100 device so i'd imagine it'd be the same with an iTach

I need a way to pulse the relays to open our garage doors from a control screen on the phone / browser. I can do it using the pop-up UI but how do I do it with just a tape of a say a power button image?

I have the system firing off an email when the relay toggles to let me know which garage door has been operated. I start a timer when the email has been sent so I don't get another one within X mins. Is there an example python script that I can use to add a check to see if the timer is >0 before sending another email?

Thanks

Ah i see, i thought you couldn't see any option for it. For control pages i just use the toggle option under server options to switch it on/off along with a custom image to show the state of the devices.. works a treat.
